Albrecht Dürer's House

"Back to Dürer" - this is the motto of Albrecht Dürer's House..

..presenting the living and working quarters of the great artist, Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528).

The museum shows all facets of Dürer and his work. In the screening room, the multivision show "Albertus Durer Noricus" allows a unique novel view of Dürer's work.

After this introduction, a tour takes visitors through all four floors of the house which was Dürer's residence between 1509 and 1528. A particular attraction: the large painting and printing workshop from Dürer's time where artistic techniques are demonstrated.

By the way: the lady of the house will guide visitors through her home in person. Via a headset, "Agnes Dürer" provides information (in five languages - German, English, French, Italian and Japanese) and, especially for children, she talks about her daily worries and the ups and downs in this artistic household. Sometimes, on request, she even turns up in person for a guided tour (played by an actress) for adults or children.
